5 Assembling and Wiring the Hardware
In the following you can find information on the mechanical assembling and wiring of an 52/RX Mixing Console and how to
integrate it into a mixing system.
Warning
Avoid damaging components by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Before you touch or mount electronical components, make sure you do not carry
any electrostatic charges. Earth yourself using a grounded metal object (heater,
rack) to divert electrostatic charges immediately before you touch electronical
components.
5.1 System Wiring
Note
You need an RM4200D DSP Frame with at least one RM420-852/853
Communication Controller to operate an 52/RX Mixing Console.
The mixing system consists of two main parts, which are coupled via an industry standard ethernet connection. These
parts are:
· The DSP Frame. This unit includes all input and output modules, the DSP Audio Engine and the Control Engine.
· The Mixing Console. This is the user interface of the mixer with all faders, control knobs, push buttons, displays and
TFT screens.
The following example picture should explain the basic structure how to wire a 52/XR mixing system. You have to keep in
mind that it is possible to arrange 52/RX Mixing Consoles with different numbers of fader and control modules and TFT
displays. Because of this and several powering options, it is not possible to mention every wiring possibility in the
following, but the basic structure is always quite the same.
Note
To power the modules of the mixing console, you need at least one PoE switch
(Power over Ethernet) and a power supply.
